Meghan Gets Involved in the Campaign

1 "Wow," said Meghan as she looked around the large room they had just entered. "Look at all the posters and phones!"
2 "Can I help you?" a young woman asked.
3 "Yes," said Mr. Edwin. "We're here to find out how to get involved in the campaign."
4 "That's wonderful," she said, reaching out her hand to welcome Mr. Edwin. "My name is Karen."
5 "Hi, Karen," said Mr. Edwin. "This is Meghan. She's going to be studying presidential campaigns in school. I thought maybe we could get some first hand experience."
6 "Hi, Meghan! What are you interested in doing?" asked Karen.
7 "What is there to do?" asked Meghan.
8 "Oh my!" said Karen, smiling and raising her hand to brush back her hair. "There are many things to do. You can pass out flyers, put up lawn signs, take a bumper sticker for your car, answer phones, I could go on and on,"
9 "I think we'll take a bumper sticker for our car, a lawn sign, and some flyers to hand out," said Mr. Edwin. "That would be a good start."
10 "O.K. I'll get them for you," said Karen, turning to walk away.
11 "Is that all a campaign does?" asked Meghan.
12 "No. But that's what the campaign workers here do. It helps to get the candidate's name and message out to the people in our area."
1 "Wow," said Meghan as she looked around the large room they had just entered. "Look at all the posters and phones!"
